(a) Suppose there are two firms 1 and 2, whose abatement costs
are given by c₁(e₁) and c₂ (e₂), where e denotes emissions and
subscripts denote the firm.
We assume that c{(e;) 0 for i = 1,2 and for any
level of emission e we have c₁'(e) # c₂'(e).
Furthermore, assume the two firms make different contributions
towards pollution concentration in a nearby river captured by the
transfer coefficients ε₁ and 2 such that for any level of emission
e we have 2(e) +2 The regulator does not know the resulting

environmental damages. Using an analytical approach explain
carefully how the regulator may limit the concentration of
pollution using (i) a Pigouvian tax scheme and (ii) uniform
emissions standards. Discuss the cost-effectiveness of both
approaches to control pollution.

(b) "Whether the regulator sells or gives away tradeable emission
permits free of charge, the quantities of emissions produced by
firms are the…
Exotic Coffee for the Poor? What a Genius Idea!
you are a business consultant at a coffee shop. Your team leader came to you one morning with excitement on her face and told you, "Guess what? I have an idea for a great location for our next coffee shop. Think about it, Riceville is a city that has 150,000 people. Most of them are above the age of 16, which means they are potential coffee drinkers. Well, even though the majority of people in that city are making minimum wage and are considered poor, but the good news is that there are no coffee shops in Riceville and the only places you could get coffee there either restaurants or gas stations. What do you think?"
Knowing that your company’s average drink price is $5.50, and the stores have nice sit-down areas and offer free WIFI and study spaces:
What type of information about consumers in that area do you need to gather and understand to determine if people there will actually consume your coffee?
How do the concepts of “budget and…
(c) Assume an infinite horizon, continuous time and certainty.
Furthermore, assume an additively separable utility function in
consumption C and pollution stock S so that, U(C,S) = u(C) +
v(S), where uc > 0; Ucc 0. Note that the first
derivative, and the second subscript denotes the second
derivative. The evolution of the pollution stock S over time is a
function of consumption, decay rate of the stock of pollution &
and abatement through the function, g(S) with gs > 0 and 9ss <
0. Time subscripts are ignored for ease of notation.
Show that in the case of a stock pollutant, the marginal utility of
consumption should equal the present value of disutility
associated with the pollution stock. Interpret the condition.

Question The 'Democratic Family' consists of three members {mother m, father f, daughter d}, that have different preferences with respect to how much money X € [0,8] they think should be invested in the new family car. These preferences can be represented by the following utility functions: - Mother m: um(X) = 2X - X² Father f: uf(X) = 10X - X² - Daughter d: ud(X) = 4X - X² Calculate for each family member (f, m, d) the preferred amount of money to invest in the new car denoted by X; for i = {m, f,d}. Assume that (Xf, Xm, Xd) are the three alternatives on which the family must decide. Show that each family member has rational preferences over this domain. Preferences on the family level are determined by pairwise majority voting (all family members vote on two alternatives). Derive the family preference and check whether it is rational.
